Nashville Weather History

After the first race at Nashville went off largely without a hitch, the weather for the second race at the track was far more unpredictable. Lightning and thunderstorms pushed the finish of the race to the night. Chase Elliott went on to win the race.

The 2023 race at Nashville had to deal with a slight schedule adjustment after forecasts of rain late into the evening. The race was pushed up slightly, and it ran to its’ conclusion without a delay.
